How is the UTM Pilot Program (UPP) different from UTM?

The UTM is a traffic management ecosystem for uncontrolled operations that is separate but complementary to the FAA's Air Traffic Management (ATM) system.

The UPP is a project that will demonstrate UTM capabilities currently in the research and development phase and will serve as the basis for initial deployment of UTM capabilities.
